- Gunkanjima Digital Museum - Gunkanjima (軍艦島) is a small island located about 20 kilometers from Nagasaki Port. Until 1974, the island served as a coal mine, and more than 5000 residents called the 480 meter long, 150 meter wide island home, resulting in the highest population density in history recorded worldwide.
To accommodate so many people in such a small area, every piece of land was built up so that the island came to resemble a massive battleship. In fact, “Gunkanjima” is a nickname that means “battleship island” in Japanese. The island’s formal name is Hashima.
IMPORTANT NOTICE:
Updated: October 13, 2019
As of September 23, 2019, it is not possible to land on Gunkanjima until further notice because of damage caused to the port facilities by a typhoon. Boat tours to view the island from the water are in operation.
